  • the card control IC 26 is embedded therein so that the wiring path from the function-extending card 23 plugged to the slot connector 25 to the card control IC 26 is extremely short in comparison with the wiring path in the card slot unit of the related art.
  • the inductance L and capacitance C of the wires on the wiring path are also decreased proportionally to the reduction of the wiring path.

  • the card control device such as the card control IC 26 is mounted on the main board of a PC or another information apparatus.
  • the number of connector pins connecting the main board to the slot boards 24 increases. This is because the number of slot boards 24 is increased to handle a plurality of function-extending cards even if the function-extending cards can be controlled by using a single card control device.
  • the card control device such as the card control IC 26 is embedded on the card slot unit 21 as described above, however, the number of connector pins connecting the main board to the slot board 24 can also be reduced by half as well.
  • the slot connector 25, the card control IC 26 and the output connector 27 are mounted on one of the surfaces, that is, the upper surface in the figure, of the slot board 24. It should be noted, however, that while the present invention has been described with reference to the first illustrative embodiment, the description is not intended to be construed in a limiting sense.

  • a method of manufacturing the card slot unit 21 will be explained by referring to Fig. 6. It should be noted that, normally, a plurality of card slot units 21 are assembled concurrently at the same time. In order to make the explanation easy to understand, however, a procedure for assembling only one card slot unit 21 is described here.
  • the assembly work sequence starts with a step F1 in which a slot board 24 serving as a base on which a wiring pattern has been created is prepared.
  • a card control IC 26 to be used as a card control device is prepared by creating stud bumps on the chip electrodes thereof using ball bonding technology.
  • the card control IC 26 is mounted on the slot board 24 by adjusting the position of the card control IC 26 in such a way that the chip electrodes coincide with the respective wires on the wiring pattern on the slot board 24.

  • step F2 only the card control IC 26 is mounted on the slot board 24, being sealed by the chip coat resin 32 as shown in Fig. 7.
  • step F3 the assembly work sequence proceeds to a step F3 in which the operation of the card control IC 26 is checked through the wiring pattern 28 created on the slot board 24.
  • a probe is typically brought into contact with connection lands 28a and 28b for the slot connector 25 and the output connector 27 as shown in Fig. 7.
  • a signal is then transmitted by a test circuit, for checking the operation of the card control IC 26 by way of the probe. In this way, an open or short circuit between the slot board 24 and the card control IC 26 and the operation of the card control IC 26 can be checked.
  • step F4 the slot connector 25 and the output connector 27 are mounted on the slot board 24.
  • the pins 30 and 33 of the slot and output connectors 25 and 27 are then fixed to the connection lands 28a and 28b by solder.
  • step F5 the assembly work sequence then goes on to step F5 in which other discrete components, such as a chip capacitor required for supplying a stable voltage to the card control IC 26, are mounted.
  • step F5 the mounting of all components on the slot board 24 is completed.
  • step F6 a function-extending card 23 is plugged into the slot connector 25 and the card slot unit 21 is operated under the same condition as the actual application.

If the mounted card control IC 26 is found defective or if the contact between the card control IC and the slot board 24 is found bad, on the other hand, the assembly work sequence is discontinued to prevent the assembly processes following the mounting of the card control IC 26 and the other components from being wasted. If the defective card control IC 26 is to be replaced by a good one, the replacement work or the repair work can be carried out with relative ease since the slot and output connectors 25 and 27 have not been mounted yet on the slot board 24.
